Is Everything Except Bitcoin Dead?

Avichal Garg of Electric Capital refutes the narrative that crypto outside Bitcoin is dead, explaining why Ethereum is a programmable store of value, Solana remains a strong retail-focused L1 with top talent, and Near is leading in cross-chain intents and agentic AI infrastructure. - Ethereum is an internet-native store of value with seizure resistance and programmability, hosting stablecoin volume and future global finance. - Solana’s high-throughput chain and low-cost infrastructure make it an underappreciated retail and consumer ecosystem with excellent builders. - Near’s intent-based routing, confidential compute, and agentic-first design position it ahead of the curve for an agentic economy. - Multiple internet-native stores of value can coexist, just as multiple large social networks emerged after Facebook. - The conversation touches on institutional DeFi and the re token project, but no details are provided.
